I did try this (with system-config-network) but it didn't seem to work. Doesn't really matter in my case, as I don't need profiles - I was just experimenting.But I certainly don't find the system-config-network interface very intuitive.
I found the gui tools a problem too. I resorted to going to the /etc/sysconfig/networking and network-scripts folders and renaming all the ifcfg-* files to conform to the ethx convention I wanted, and editing the device declaration within the files. Seemed to work fine, but of course YMMV ;)
